    nevermind man, nevermind, you didn't get it. Normally if you give them the number to the bandai kits you're looking to buy, many Hobby stores will order them up for you. Now discount wise, I dunno if they'd let ya or not...I would if I wanted the business I'd probably knock off 10-15% of my store price for such a big order. But I don't own a shop. Next up, variety of kits are easier to get ahold of than trying to get 40-100 of the same....that could be problematic as the Bandai rep might not be able to order that many of the same particular kit due to quantity on hand. Even if you get a variety, the principle of the build is the same. Grab tree C, cut parts 43, 44, 16 and 12, assemble as per the diagram be sure to follow any specifics to get the right fit, then move on. It won't matter to much if the person is building a HG 1/144 RX-78-2 or a PG Zeta Gundam...they all pretty much follow the same guidelines. Again, variety, if they're free kits to teach ppl to build they shouldn't bitch and moan that someone got 00 Riser and then someone got a Zaku. I'd be happy with whatever I got, even if it were G-Savior.

    That is the WORST headsculpt implemented for this gimmick BECAUSE of the gimmick. The side panels of the head are to wide and away from the face, and the V Fin/Unicorn Horn is freakishly HUGE! The body looks good, but the head is horribly off.

    haaaattteee the head sculpt ever since I saw that video. ASS looking really bad. But I would like something that could do that....I would I really would.

    I got one of those mini unicorns. replaced the clear parts with fluorescent pink and yellow. looks AWESOME in black light. I picked up MG 00 Riser, Turn X and Turn A. totally stoked!

    Well, I got a rather nice bonus check from my boss yesterday, I don't wanna use it all up before the weeks over so I decided to knock a third party down I've wanted all year and that was Warden. No idea where I'll put him!

    just paid for mine.

    might of though the blue camo was dumb or to expensive I dunno. I'm still waiting on mine but I'm super patient on this since I still have HG Nu Gundam, jegan and PG zero to finish.

    Well there ya have it, think that's our third death for the month. Usually hollywood deaths come in 3's, We've had Robin Williams, Lauren Bacall and now Ricard Attenborough. It's a sad day in hollywood and for fans

    Now I saw it. Concept opening there, liked it more, had a nicer punch to it. The official, it's okay, it just doesn't have that same grab I liked. Episode wise...not bad, typical steven moffat I think. Capaldi, I like him, but damn he's hard for me to understand from time to time. I think it's just cause he's scottish.

    UGH! I DON'T HAVE BBC!!!

    Okay so my initial thoughts on the Zeta Plus Unicorn Version 1) Look over your plastic bags as you remove the trees. as I was going over things I noticed I plugged the wrong barrel into the beam rifle. I started scanning around and I noticed the part was inside a bag I put in my trash bag (bag in a bag yo) and sighed in relief. Looks like I'm not the only one, guess during the bagging process it snaps under the pressure and gets rattled around. 2) Colors for the skirt armor cannons IMO are Tamiya Sky Grey and Nato Black, more gray and a pinch of black, mix well. Once it dries you'll notice it's REALLY close in color to the barrel and I liked it. Closest color choices I've come to in a long ass time. 3) Kit is SOLID compared to the Zeta Gundam so long ago. My Zeta after completion was kind of floppy and droops. My Zeta Plus doesn't do that and the transformation works better. I'd say this was a really fun, easy and thought out kit after the recall I think it's safe to say this is a winner winner chicken dinner (did I just say that?) and might buy another to customize someday.

    that's a guy with TO MUCH time on his hands.

    apologies for the bad lighting, only thing left are the side skirt armor parts...waiting till I get a close enough paint mixture to the frame.

    So today I worked on my Zeta Plus Bandai's latest HGUC kit...I must say that while it feels a lot more sturdier and more solid than the old Zeta Gundam, it's still just as much of a parts former. Legs, arms, crotch, butt, and side guns, wings and stabilizer are the only parts of the main mobile suit body that are yanked off and placed on an entirely new frame consisting of a solid chest and back part. It's practically 2 kits in one. Although I DO like this kit a ton.

    caught this a few weeks ago, wasn't bad. better than I expected by juuuust by a little.
  17. Hikuro
    Nah you can't bring up Alan Rickman cause he doesn't play Bad Guys, only interesting people.
  18. Hikuro
    Agreed, lots of lil parts for those color details and such, but I still liked the kit a lot and wish I could find mine but it's still in storage. In the mean time these came today. And the Zeta Plus came with a randomly packed Gunpla accessory that seems to be just melee weapons with a small petite mobile suit. But dear god do I have some seriously awesome kits to build!

    lol what episodes were you watching? Season 1 finale' Heavy Metal Wars the Dinobots masacared the Constucticons. In fact I believe Megatron was terrified of the Dinobots everytime he had to face them he had to resort to insults only to get his ass handed to him by Grimlock (2 part atlantica episodes are a good example of that) I hate the idea of a Dinobots gestalt, it's completely un-neccessary in every way shape and form. If the Dinobots had simple brains, and even the most intellectual transformers turning into a gestalt body became stupid and slow what in the world do you think would happen to the Dinobots? Oh wait.....now that I think about it Grimlock fixed that with the Technobots, the only Gestalt unit to be smart and devestating. ....Simple Brains.

    it's nice to know that buying all those damn kits at the hobbytown near work has paid off as they got some new stuff in stock, looked like someone even bought the RG Full Burn GP01 cause they restocked with BF Dark Exia, HGUC GP03, GP02 and Zeta Gundam. Since I had a $5 off coupon on me I picked up the Zeta and working on that right now. It's gonna be fun comparing it to the new HGUC Zeta Plus when it arrives...maybe this weekend!
  21. Hikuro
    So I see Headrobots still around and they're releasing a scorponok upgrade for the Botcon 2014 edition....but what I'm curious over is if it'll work for any of the scorponok models that've existed since Energon?

    I think the news has been passed around...I took advantage of it. I ordered the new Zeta Plus from HLJ with the campaign offer....been waiting for a week for this thing to ship. I went to the long long far off hobby store and they had jack...just wing kits that have been there forever. I went to TFAW instead sometimes you can find neat stuff. I picked up a HGUC F91 and RX-78-4 MG....they also had a Mega Grade RX-78-2 which meh I've already built that not much I can do to it besides turn it into a 1 or a 3. A few AGE kits which I quickly wanted to throw into their dumpster....not big on AGE. All in all, 2 kits, walked out spending just a lil over 50 bucks. I'd say that's a good haul!
  23. Hikuro
    I want one of those posters...
  24. Hikuro
    Would maybe buy the 360 version since that was slightly tolertable when I had rented it since it's 10 bucks. Although I'm still meh. Now that I've been reading more and more on Isolation I'm beginning to step back and go "Wait...I thought they said the game was gonna be different each time you die the alien is not in the same location as before?" apparently that's not entirely so...and now I'm seeing more in game graphics and it's looking even less appealing to me.

    I think some of reasons lately with kits being sold out is well... 1) Bandai engineering team come up with some great designs. 2) they're releasing popular mecha or have really nest gimmick ideas. 3) version ka kits usually are packed full of detail and articulation with an extensive decal set to put on, but even without the decals the model comes out very nice. Last 5 months I've seen everything from RG Exia, to the latest build fighter kits being sold out within about a week to a month. And the prices are pretty low compared to what the market price adjustment will be state side. I paid 125 for my sazabi version MA when it was about 95 online but sold out. I just happened to stumble upon it at a hobby shop. I waited over a year before I even got the nu Gundam version MA as a Xmas present from my now ex....soooo kinda don't like that one I built....
